The Oomnensation Bill,

The enemies Of prohibition in the
Legislature, knowing they cannot
defeat submission on a fair vote,
have concocted a scheme to load it
down with a compensation bill that
will cause the people to vote against
it. The bill proposes to pay to
dealers all damage or depreciation
that Is entailed upon property or
stock On hand when prohibition
begins. 1t fixes a price upon a
thing that depends upon future
contingency; the price affects the
contingency and is therefore in the
nature of a bride or menace. It's
operation as law depends upon an
extraneous contingency. and is
therefore imperative and unconsti-
tutional, because the legislature
must make its own laws and can
not delegate its powers to the peo-
pie at an election. 1t is anticipate
ry, reaches over into the term Of
the next legislature before it be-
comes operative, and is therefore
void, because one legislature can
not make laws for its successor. 1t
is wrong in Its application because
it induces men to lay in large stocks
in order to get damages. On the
other hand, when the people vote
| the amendment, it is notice to deal
ers that they must prepare for pro-
hibition and it will give them time
to reduce their stocks. The feder-
eral court has held that the state is
liable for the damage done a plant,
as brewery or still, by prohibiting
| the business upon which it was
prediGated and licensed and where
notice could not avail it to prepare
to meet the event, but this bill goes
further and proposes to pay deal
err the difference in the value of his
liquor before and after the sale is
prohibited and let him keep all his
liquor.
It is intended to defeat submits
sion. They hope to make it appear
that it will be too expensive to pass
it and thus bride the people to vote
against It. There are men in the
legislature who pretend to favor
submission and who will vote for
this measure to defeat the very
thing they pretend to favor
Compensation ought to be given
when 1t is deserved, but the legisla-
ture that has the job of formulating
law to efectuate the amendment
can and ought to be entrusted with
the power to pay for the damage it
does.

Stoekhreeders Meeting,

The 18th annual meeting of the
Tennessee Stockholders Associa-
ton will be held at the rooms OF the
commissioner of agriculture al
Nashville, on Tuesday, the 18th Of
February, and the indications are
that it will be one of the most in
teresting and instructive meetings
they have ever had. The following
well-known gentlemen have been ap-
pointed to prepare essays on the
various subjects assigned them, tC
be read on the OCCASION:
The trotting horse in Tennessee, Jno
M. Thompson of Nashville.
The pacing horse, Maj. Campbell
Brown of Spring HILL
Disease of the horse, B. F. Cockrill
of Nashville.
The future Of jersey cattle in the
south, Thos. H. Malone of Nashville.
Butter tests and how to make them

Ensilage and its benefits to stock
breeders, Jno. w. Glenn, Knoxville.
Grass and stock raising vs.. cotton

The magnitude that the live
stock interests of Tennessee have
assumed demands that the breeders
of the state actively participate In
these annual meetings, so as to
make them profitable and instruc-
tive to themselves and to guard the
good reputation which the state
has already gained for her blooded
stock.

A large importation of English
iron has arrived at Chattanooga.
St. Louis, in sight of an iron noun
tain, has just ordered large guam
tity of English iron. They make
it cheaper than we can because
they pay their laborers starving
wages. If we should take off our
tariff and let English iron in free it
would close down all our furnaces
and run the tens of thousands of
people who work in mines and foun-
dries and factories back into the
ranks of idlers. Iron advanced in
Pittsburg last week and the first
thing they did was to advance wag-
es ten per cent. The people pros
per here-the owners prosper in
England and the people are pau
pers. Do we want English free
trade here? Let the intelligent
reader answer this question himself.
If we protect and build up the iron
industries of tie south we give a
million men profitable emplo, ment
and make them able to buy oul
farm products at paying prices. Il
we cripple them and drive them in
to idleness we cut our own threats

Trade Summary,

Spring trade is showing signs of
vigorous awakening. Dry goods
are stiff and cotton goods show an
upward tendency. Capital at all
the business centers is seeking in
vestment with Unprecedented rush.
Money is easy everywhere. The re-
cent bank reports exhibit most
gratifying condition and has bulled
confidence. Iron is on a boom eve
rywhere. Manufactured iron is
looking up. A strong tendency ap-
pears TO create more plants for
manufacturing iron. Pittsburg is
ahead on orders for nearly a year.
ST. Louis had to order from Eng
land to supply actual demand. In
Philadelphia it readily sells above
quotations. in New York "the
iron situation keeps gaining in ex
citement and interest, and all eyes
are On the south apparently, for in
vestors are sending their capital
there Collections are good and
money abundant.

The County Court System.

There is manifestly a deep seat
ed and widespread desire on the
part of many thoughtful men
throughout the state to bring about
a radical reform in the mode of adj
ministering county affairs. We see
this cropping out in every direction.
That the present mode of manag-
ing county business is cumbersome,
expensive and unsatisfactory to the
people is so plain that "wayfaring
man, though fool" may run and
read. What earthly use is there
for calling two justices of the peace
from every district in every county
in the state, to meet four times
every year to do business which
three intelligent men could do in
half the time, and do it much bet
ter? But the question arises, have
we a man in the legislature with
brain and Drawn enough to devise,
set forth and advocate an intelligent
plan for more economical, expedi-
tlous and efficient plan than the
present worthless one?-Tribune IL

The report OF Col. Paine shows
that public schools were Taught in
Tennessee last year but rs days.
And yet she spent $I,047, 223.O2.
There were built 81 new school
houses and the system shows an
increase in all departments. There
was more money spent but the
school term was shortened because
Of increased attendance. The peo-
plo have been walked up to the I'M
uortance of educating their chill
dren as a result of the Blair bill ag-
itation. 1t did that much good, at
any rate. We will have to quit in
teresting the people to keep them
from sending all the children to
ecnool and thus shorten the term to
nothing. There is just so much
money to be spent and if we divide
It among so many it will bring the
term down to a lew days.

Amend the Law,

We urge upon the legislature to
amend the assessment law SO that
every mans property may be assess
ed at its value. The present sys-
tenn is outrageous and it is unjust
to honest men. Every mans prop
erty, and ALL of it, ought to be as
sessed and appraised by Two disin-
terested parties, under oath and un-
der bond with large penalty, at its
cash value, supposing that there is
a man present who wants to buy
such property. Not what it is pos
sibly or probably worth, but what
the owner could afford to take and
the buyer could afford to give, sup
posing that he needed it and want
ed it. We can point out a thousand
evasions in Giles. We can show
you men trading on $4,000 CAPT
tai who pay no taxes. 1t is race
between district assessors as tt
who shall get his people off cheap
est, and race between the coun-
ties. 1t is not only unjust and un
equal, premium on dishonesty ant
evasion, but it is misleading ant
damages the state abroad. Tennes
see is worth three or four times as
much as the tax list shows and sh
ought to let the outside world know
it. 1t does US no good to concea
it thus. We are swindllng our
selves. We consider this the Ques
ton of most Importance before tn
legislature.

ASTONISHING SUCCESS.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Bochee's German Syrup to let
its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Colds, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
without immediate relief. Three doses
will relieve any case, and we consider it
the duty OF all druggists to recommend
it to the poor, dying consumptive, at
least to try one bottle, as $4,000 dozen
bottles were sold last year, and ne one
case where it failed was reported. Such
a medicine as the German Syrup cnn-

Albany Argus: Ben Butler has
turned up as the champion of the
Mormons and denounces any bill
that may injure the innocent poly
gamists. Here are his views on the
question, as expressed in a recent
interview: "There is nothing in
the scriptures opposed to Mormon
ism. On the contrary, the practice
is based on Holy Writ, and was
universally followed by the worthless
of the old testament. 1t was also
countenanced under the new dis
pensation, and bishops were adjur-
ed by Paul to take at least one wife.
You see, they were not limited to
any number, bat to take at least
one"
